Three weeks ago, Luke and I went up to the UCSC Fall Festival. This is where all the PE clubs put out a table and recruit students. Since all the students we had graduated, we desperately needed new blood to keep the club going.
Well, the day went great. For two reasons.… Continue reading ‘DIY Chiropractic Work’
A few weeks ago, our dear musician/fishing buddy took Luke and I on a trip on the high, fresh water deep.
It was fun when I turned 18. Not just because I had to pay taxes, but also because I could open an account and start investing in stocks!
Recently (i.e, early 2008, before the market went to the dumps), I couldn’t resist getting the stock you see at the bottom of my portfolio: Abbott Laboratories! I thought that was blog worthy.
Note: Back then I had gotten a little trigger-happy with the stocks and therefor bought quite a bit more than I could handle, even though I was making 7+% back! Now, the portfolio has been trimmed back quite a bit and unfortunately, I had to sell Abbott Labs! 
Mmm... Mmm... Pricey!
We were eating breakfast with Joe (a friend of ours if you haven’t guessed by now) at Ideals two months ago. While gazing at their flip-through margarita list, there was a promotional thing that said if your birthday was in August, you can come in on the 3rd Thursday of that month and have yourself a free prime rib. That sounded good. Thus, we marked it on the calendar!
Well, the August’s 3rd Thursday rolled along and Luke was ready! Packin’ an empty stomach and an ID card (to prove that it was his birthday), we … Continue reading ‘A Taste For Flesh-y Meats’
I prefer a waterbed.
Years ago, before this blog existed, Luke and I used to write blog-like stories. After an event or “happening”, we’d get on the computer, write out what happened, then add pictures and print them out. You know, for historical purposes.
Anywho, being that it’s Labor Day ‘n all, my mind couldn’t help but be summoned back to 2003′s Labor Day, our most laborous Labor Day in a while. Fortunately, I had written a story about it, so we can get a generally-accurate account of what happened! So, let’s take a journey back in time! (2003 may not seem like that long ago, but keep in mind that we were using WordPerfect then, so it felt longer.)
Deliciousness!
This morning, we decided to recreate some Cinnabons with one of the many copycat recipes online. In the end, while the icing was 100% bang on, the buns turned out 90% identical. I think if we remedied a few things, it would be absolutely perfect. What are those modifications?… Continue reading ‘Pour on the Fat!’
While sitting in the tub, (with water in it) I had a tub inspired thought (in the tub, the mind simmers as well as the water). We all know that hubby=husband. Well, what’s the wife equivilent? Wubby?
Last year, Luke took an improv course at cabrillo college to, you know, meet babes. Anyway, he enjoyed that and so did his fellow students. So much so, that during the summer, they held improv “training” at our house. It was a little odd hearing all the loud screams, elephant imitations, and thumps emanating from downstairs. The neighbors didn’t … Continue reading ‘The Scene of the Rubber Ducky’
I wonder if it’s worth all the gas I’d burn to heat up the griddle. . .
